First off let me say sorry for not going with the Polk SRs on this set up. But wanted something different for this car and a little more exotic. I will be using the Polk SRs in my new truck setup.

I am loving this setup. These Hertz Mille speakers are nothing but Pure Sound Quality. Huge difference from the Bose factory setup and the DD Audio setup in my 4 Runner. I still have to place the clips on the sub but you get the idea. Tried to keep the install simple and clean. Placed the sub in an custom enclosure in the spare tire well. So I caould save space to place T-Tops and overnight bags. Hope you enjoy the pics.

does the sub cone go to a point? Interesting. I've never heard of Hertz Mille...

Tim B.

yes it does. If you have not auditioned them you should. They are very impressive. I have not heard nothing this smooth before.

Very nice looking rig. I used to own the 300z way back when with the Bose and it was always lacking on the low end. Looks like you've solved that issue in spades.

Looks great! I like the clean look.

they look really expensive. where did you get them and how much were those comps?

Tim B.

They are expensive. I had gotten a special deal since no one in this area runs Hertz. They are truely amazing set. Thanks I am glad you guys like what was done.

The only thing I will change a little later is the amp rack. I would perfer a more stealth look. But very happy with the results.

But I do know of someone that may be able to help you if you are interested in there products.

Great gear, along with a very nice install.....nicely done Tim.

Tim B.

Chris at Car Toys in Tulsa, Ok. He has been in a few car audio mags. So he really knows what he is doing. I believe they hired him in somewhere in Tx.

Chris Pate from College Station. Im suprised youre not running Focal Be's if you got the equipment from him

Tim B.

I specifically wanted the Hertz Mille setup. I wanted something different from most people. Plus I perfer the softer more natural sound from the silk dome tweeters.

They tried, I know he is sponsered by Focal. I like there midbass drivers but there tweeters a little to bright for me.

exalted512

You should hear his band. Theyre pretty good.

I heard that Chris' Civic got totalled! Is that true or just BS gossip.

Tim B.

I don't believe that's true because I just saw it in Car Toy's show room floor last Friday. Great peice of work.

MacLeod

Thats what I figured. One thing about car audio guys, they gossip worse than a bunch of old ladies!

Man do you have an expensive setup. I hope you enjoy it. I personally believe you could of had similar performance for less money. That is unless you got an insane deal. Did you pay more for this than you would of for a high end jl audio setup?

csnut18

I will not bs, this looks really hot. the installation looks top notch. better than mine hehe

Youre saying you could have similar performance for less money, then you mention JL in the same paragraph????

I love JL, but i think they're a little over played. people talk about JL like it was made by god.

Tim B.

I don't believe JL has aanything in the same league. I would have went with Polk SRs before ever going with the JL. Plus yes I got a great deal. I am very happy with this setup. really loving it.

Forgot about this until today and I asked my boss, its true. Car swerved in front of whoever had it on the trailer, trailer flipped, totaled the car.

Tim B.

He has that Hatch back that was in the mag in the store at Car Toys. Unless we are not talking about the same car.

exalted512

From Chris' mouth "Due to an unfortunate accident while leaving the khumo street warriorz show this past saturday, my Honda has been destroyed. Some drunk guy pulled into my lane and to avoid a collision we swerved to miss him. When we did our trailer flipped, The Honda is totalled."
-Cody

Tim B.

So that happed after I saw it in the store. Ok, then sorry.

MacLeod

What a waste.

Real men drive Hondas.

And that 34 mpg aint too shabby either.

exalted512

Ha. I cant even begin to imagine what that feels like, to put that many hours in a car to have it totaled by an idiot drunk. At least noBODY was hurt, but with all the work ive put in my truck, id kill someone if they wrecked it, and i probably havent put close to the amount of time he has into that car...
